Lab Description
We will work with COVID data downloaded from the New York Times. The dataset consists of COVID-19 cases and deaths in each US state during the course of the COVID epidemic.
The objective of this lab is to explore relationships between cases, deaths, and population sizes of US states, and plot data to demonstrate this
Steps
I. Reading and processing the New York Times (NYT) state-level COVID-19 data
## data extracted from New York Times state-level data from NYT Github repository
# https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data
## state-level population information from us_census_data available on GitHub repository:
# https://github.com/COVID19Tracking/associated-data/tree/master/us_census_data

4. Add new_cases and new_deaths and correct outliers
Add variables for new cases, new_cases, and new deaths, new_deaths:
Hint: You can set new_cases equal to the difference between cases on date i and date i-1, starting on date i=2
Filter to dates after June 1, 2021
Use plotly for EDA: See if there are outliers or values that don’t make sense for new_cases and new_deaths. Which states and which dates have strange values? California 2021-06-05
Correct outliers: Set negative values for new_cases or new_deaths to 0
Recalculate cases and deaths as cumulative sum of updated new_cases and new_deaths
Get the rolling average of new cases and new deaths to smooth over time
Inspect data again interactively

5. Add additional variables
Add population-normalized (by 100,000) variables for each variable type (rounded to 1 decimal place). Make sure the variables you calculate are in the correct format (numeric). You can use the following variable names:
per100k = cases per 100,000 population
newper100k= new cases per 100,000
deathsper100k = deaths per 100,000
newdeathsper100k = new deaths per 100,000
Add a “naive CFR” variable representing deaths / cases on each date for each state
Create a dataframe representing values on the most recent date, cv_states_today, as done in lecture
### FINISH CODE HERE# Add population normalized (by 100,000) counts for each variablecv_states$per100k =as.numeric(format(round(cv_states$cases / (cv_states$population/100000), 1), nsmall =1))cv_states$newper100k =as.numeric(format(round(cv_states$new_cases / (cv_states$population/100000), 1), nsmall =1))
# Add a naive CFR variable = deaths / casescv_states = cv_states %>%mutate(naive_CFR =round((deaths *100/ cases), 2))# Create a `cv_states_today` data framecv_states_today =subset(cv_states, date ==max(cv_states$date))
II. Scatterplots
6. Explore scatterplots using plot_ly()
Create a scatterplot using plot_ly() representing pop_density vs. various variables (e.g. cases, per100k, deaths, deathsper100k) for each state on most recent date (cv_states_today)
Color points by state and size points by state population
Use hover to identify any outliers.
Remove those outliers and replot.
Choose one plot. For this plot:
Add hoverinfo specifying the state name, cases per 100k, and deaths per 100k, similarly to how we did this in the lecture notes
Add layout information to title the chart and the axes

7. Explore scatterplot trend interactively using ggplotly() and geom_smooth()
For pop_density vs. newdeathsper100k create a chart with the same variables using gglot_ly()
Explore the pattern between \(x\) and \(y\) using geom_smooth()
Explain what you see. Do you think pop_density is a correlate of newdeathsper100k? No, I don’t think there is a relationship.

Warning: Using `size` aesthetic for lines was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
ℹ Please use `linewidth` instead.
Create a line chart of the naive_CFR for all states over time using plot_ly()
Use the zoom and pan tools to inspect the naive_CFR for the states that had an increase in September. How have they changed over time?
Create one more line chart, for Florida only, which shows new_cases and new_deaths together in one plot. Hint: use add_layer()
Use hoverinfo to “eyeball” the approximate peak of deaths and peak of cases. What is the time delay between the peak of cases and the peak of deaths?

9. Heatmaps
Create a heatmap to visualize new_cases for each state on each date greater than June 1st, 2021
Start by mapping selected features in the dataframe into a matrix using the tidyr package function pivot_wider(), naming the rows and columns, as done in the lecture notes
Use plot_ly() to create a heatmap out of this matrix. Which states stand out?
Repeat with newper100k variable. Now which states stand out?
Create a second heatmap in which the pattern of new_cases for each state over time becomes more clear by filtering to only look at dates every two weeks
### FINISH CODE HERE# Map state, date, and new_cases to a matrixlibrary(tidyr)cv_states_mat <- cv_states %>%select(state, date, new_cases) %>% dplyr::filter(date>as.Date("2021-06-15"))cv_states_mat2 <-as.data.frame(pivot_wider(cv_states_mat, names_from = state, values_from = new_cases))rownames(cv_states_mat2) <- cv_states_mat2$datecv_states_mat2$date <-NULLcv_states_mat2 <-as.matrix(cv_states_mat2)# Create a heatmap using plot_ly()plot_ly(x=colnames(cv_states_mat2), y=rownames(cv_states_mat2),z=~cv_states_mat2,type="heatmap",showscale=T)

10. Map
Create a map to visualize the naive_CFR by state on October 15, 2021
Compare with a map visualizing the naive_CFR by state on most recent date
Plot the two maps together using subplot(). Make sure the shading is for the same range of values (google is your friend for this)
Describe the difference in the pattern of the CFR.
The cases per 100k by State as of 2023-11-10 show that there are higher cases in northern United States and Alaska compared to and cases per 100k in 2023-11-10
